Leftover Cranberry Sauce Bars

Leftover Cranberry Sauce Bars

Have you checked the back of your fridge lately? 

There might be some Thanksgiving containers that are lurking about.  Ekkkkkkk

Now some of those might have gone past their prime, but cranberry sauce has a good shot at being usable.  But who wants more plain cranberry sauce at this point?

Been there, done that!

One of the ways we like to use it up is to add it on top of applesauce.  As a topping to plain yogurt, would be lovely as well.

And since the holiday season calls for baked goods, we decided these easy Cranberry Bars, from Allrecipies, were the way to go.  They use regular pantry ingredients including a Betty Crocker  cake mix. (affiliate link)  We just used our already prepared cranberry sauce.

Keep in mind, if you have a fruit bar recipe you like already, you can just change out the topping to cranberry sauce, to make these leftover cranberry sauce bars!!!

**Tip- This is a great way to use up extra jam as well. 

P.S. – We have a fantastic cranberry relish recipe, HERE.
